Challenge Question #2
Date: Wed Feb 23 2005 - 16:06:47 EST
We believe that if the sun wasnt tilted on a axis that there would be no
seasonal change, kinda like the equator. there would still be night and day but with warm climate.

******************************
We believe that if the Earth wasn't tilted on an axis then the seasons
wouldn't change: the direct sunlight would always hit the equator.
Therefore the entire Earth would always have the same photoperiod from place
to place which means there would only be one season: summer.

******************************
If the earth wasn't tilted on an axis then the seasons wouldn't change
during the year. The places where the sunlight directly hit would be summer
all year around. The amount of sunlight that a particular place gets
wouldn't depend on its latitude because the earth wouldn't be on a tilt so
it wouldn't matter how far north or south of the equator it is.

If the the Earth wasn't tilted on its axis, our climate and seasons
would be significantly different. Do to the tilt of the Earth upon its axis,
our temperatures change with the seasons. For example, when winter come it
gets cold, when summer comes it gets hot, and so on and so forth. If that
tilt of the Earth wasn't there, there really wouldn't be a great temperature
change. The sun would always be pointed directly towards the equator, no
matter what position the sun, moon, and Earth were in. Winter is normally
associated with cold and fridgid weather. As like summer is associated with
hot weather. If the Earth wasn't tilted, we wouldn't have the different
seasons, we would have one climate that lasted all year through. This could
also be damaging to the environment. The leaves would never fall off the
trees, there would never agin be new growth of plants in the spring-time, it
all could ultimately lead to trouble with global warming and depletion of
the O-Zone layer. Thankfully, there isn't really a danger of this really
happening to Earth, so its not that great of a problem at the moment. But,
if Earth did move from its tilted spot on the axis it would send the world
into a chaos of permanent changes.
******************************
We believe that if the world wasn't tilted the seasons would cease to exist.
The eastern and western hemispheres would either be hot or cold, there would
be no in between. As an example, we would have either winter or summer as
our season all year. The dark side would be a lot colder than it is now.
Which also means that the light side would be a lot warmer. This also means
that the warm side would not have any rain. The equator would also move.
